Aren’t You Tired of Yo-Yo Dieting?

Losing weight is not about going on a diet. It’s about learning which foods to eat and how often to eat them so that you stay satiated, keep your blood level on an even keel, and eating until you’re comfortably full. Eating foods high in fiber such as oatmeal, fruit and vegetables, enable you to stay full longer because glucose is released into your bloodstream at a slow rate – as opposed to eating highly processed foods – which will make your blood sugar rise and dip quickly. When you eat sugary fatty foods, you get quick energy, but you crash and burn shortly thereafter and you’re left ravenously hungry, which makes you reach for that donut 15 minutes later. Then the vicious food and weight gain cycle start again.
